i though type D was a bit extreme. It may be because the old pump was a huge belt driven thing.
i have removed the B6s so was going to change the D16 to a C6 at the disboard.
The pipe work is 38mm i think with some sections of large welded steel where it would have been impractical due to the number of tee's. The pump is a grundfos 4180 i have seen a data sheet for it but gave no indiction of loading just pumping stats and so on.

dont want this to cause problems when firing up, most of the time 3 pumps will start up simultaneously.
I will take some pics of this lot once done and post them if anyone is interested?
